Fender Custom Shop '60s Telecaster Journeyman Relic Masterbuilt by Dennis Galuszka - Pewter

This Fender Custom Shop 1960 Telecaster was built by Master Builder Dennis Galuszka and features a Journeyman relic finish with Closet Classic hardware in Pewter. The guitar pairs a two-piece roasted alder body with a custom 5/4 quarter-sawn maple neck finished in light tint nitrocellulose lacquer and carved to a comfortable 1963 Strat Style "C" profile.

The plain maple fingerboard features a 9.5" radius, medium jumbo 6150 frets, black Micarta position markers, a bone nut, and a Bi-Flex truss rod. The neck measures .830" at the first fret and 1.000" at the twelfth fret, providing a substantial vintage-inspired feel.

Electronics consist of a set of Josefina Campos hand-wound pickups, including a Twisted Tele neck pickup and a Custom Blackguard bridge pickup. Additional appointments include a Modern Tele control assembly, vintage Tele output assembly, vintage-style Fender-logo tuners, a 1958–1963 Tele bridge with RSD saddles, black/white/black vinyl pickguard, chrome/nickel hardware, and a Fender Custom Shop black hardshell case.
